Waiting

Updated: Dec 11, 2022

Waiting Like a radio operator for the signals to surface the noise to hum the tap-tapping to burn.

Waiting Like Napoleon or Franco to unleash the end the crisis to unfold the chaos to start.

Waiting Like grouse in the soft bushes for the hunter to come to shoot his gun and the life to bleed out.

Waiting Like Ha Jin and Samuel Beckett for the meaning to come the story to start the sense to begin.

Waiting Like the night-watchman for the clouds to clear the night to die the cold truth to come.

Pink dawn raid

Updated: Dec 11, 2022

Pink red-gold rays creep through the silver tree trunks.

Shrill birdsong makes guerrilla war on night’s silence.

Silk spider’s-web mist settles quick droplets on grass stalks.

You lie serene, gently breathing morning’s last dreams.

COLLECTIONS

DEATH BY AGREEMENT

some seem to have agreed a pact for passage.
tidings hard to fathom.

STRANGE WATERS

experimental forms and thoughts that seem to come from elsewhere

AS IT IS

here now: this is what we find, this is what we see, this is what finds us

TRACERY

second and third associations. words and shapes.

Where fairies dream (1024x683)_edited.jpg

ANGRY RED SUN, PALE SHADOWED NIGHT

a second stab at a book-style tranche of writings. formed in the end not entirely how it was intended.

THROUGH LIGHT

first steps. written mostly past midnight through dawn. night muse visitations.

WHO AM I?

Strandloper, edge-dweller, being. Sometime poet.

This site began as insomnia. Soon there were enough words for a book (Through Light). A little later, another collection was almost a book (Angry Red Sun, Pale Shadowed Night). Then came snatches of someone's thoughts from somewhere (As It Is). Dark tidings have also been received (Death by Agreement).
Along the way there are words on a plane (Tracery).
